Senate Rent Bill Moves To Decontrol In Nine Cities
Senate discussions reveal a rent control bill approved by a Banking subcommittee would end ceilings immediately in nine cities if enacted. The measure would extend controls 14 months beyond February and decontrol areas with vacancy rates of 1 percent or higher, including Memphis Denver Tulsa Portland San Antonio Seattle and the Hampton Roads Virginia area. It would also lift ceilings for tenants with voluntary 15 percent increases in leases through 1948, affecting about 1,700,000 renters.
